Uhmm, thinking about this one, perhaps this may sound a bit unusual to call "food" a pet sin, but I think it is. I read one statistic the other day, and it said obesity is the major cause of death in the world. And I know how hard it is to deny myself of foods I love sometimes. It takes a lot of effort to be healthy, and deny oneself the foods that will eventually hurt you, or even kill you.
Soo... I guess I could say food is my pet sin. I have to work daily to try to keep my body healthy.
Here's what Jesus had to say about what I think are "pet sins"
Luke 21:34 34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and [so] that day come upon you unawares.
Definition of Surfeiting:
1: an overabundant supply : excess 2: an intemperate or immoderate indulgence in something (as food or drink) 3: disgust caused by excess
Yeah. I love powdered donuts and sherbet better than a good healthy meal.
But I have learned that there is a difference between "food" and substances.
Food is nourishing, substances are things like soda pop, donuts and sherbet.

Sometimes I add to the week's shopping list: "something chocolatey and bad for me."

Is rocking the boat a sin? Stirring the pot? Chainsaw massacring a group of traveling teenagers?
Rocking the boat and stirring the pot could possibly be a sin. If one would know willfully that doing so could get someone to turn away from Jesus' truth and salvation, and if one were doing so exactly for that purpose, I believe that could be a sin. I could be wrong though.

How about the massacring? If they really, really deserved it?

My downfall is not sweet, but salty... in a desperate moment needing something to "pick me up" I look for anything salty...
I agree, there is a big difference between food and junk!!! Why I don't reach for an orange, instead of chips or pretzels, I don't know, but would be much healthier LOL!
